The Ol' Reliable

The very first computer I've owned that was not a laptop or a clunky tower from a big-box retailer. Built in late 2019, most parts were already outdated as soon as it was built, but it served me especially well the past two years, especially after the extreme demand surge from the pandemic. The sum of all parts handle productivity such as remote office work flawlessly. Of course, it can handle games like a champ, from smooth 100+ frames on most popular titles, and surprisingly stays at ~60 or above on current, graphically-demanding and terribly optimized games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Warzone.

The parts are as cookie-cutter as you can get. The absence of oversaturated RBG lighting and obsolescent parts (if we ignore the ongoing shortage of latest gen) will make many skim past this build, but it solidified my belief that great PC's can be used for great content and for the family for many years.
